Mahimahi / Dorado - Fresh - 5 pounds

Mahimahi (also known as the Dolphinfish) is the best-known ambassador for Hawaiian seafood. It is often served fresh in the most up-scale restaurants.

The supply of locally-caught fish is extremely limited and seasonal considering the high demand for this species. It is a bit more plentiful in the spring and autumn.

Mahimahi has a firm flesh that turns off-white when cooked. Its meaty, firm flesh has a mild flavor slightly sweet flavor, making it perfect for most fish recipes. It is excellent broiled, blackened, deep-fried, pan-fried, poached and stir-fried.

Mahimahi is considered sustainable because it grows and reproduces so quickly. They can grow up to 90 pounds, although most Mahimahi are between 8 and 30 pounds. 5 pounds of Mahimahi will come in 1-3 fillets.

Mahimahi is available most of the year - although more prevalent between March and May, and between September and November. Fresh Mahimahi is processed and shipped out the same day. Purchase price includes the cost of expedited shipping.
